Steven Gerrard wants Rangers’ players to be remembered as winners
Steven Gerrard has told his Rangers side to be remembered as winners and players who helped take the club to finals.
Rangers travel to Aberdeen on Sunday in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals.
The Dons denied Gerrard the chance to lead out his side for what would have been
his first final as boss when they dumped Rangers out at the last-four stage of the Betfred Cup.
But Gerrard wants his side to seize the opportunity available to them this weekend as Rangers look to record a first major trophy triumph since 2011.
He said: „Getting back to Hampden has got to be the carrot for the players.
„Sunday is a real opportunity for them to show they want to be winners at this football club.
„You don’t want to be remembered just for being a good player, you want to be remembered as a winner and someone who helped contribute in taking this club to finals.
„To go up to Pittodrie and play in that hostile environment against a good Aberdeen team has got to be exciting for a player.“
Rangers will travel in buoyant mood after scoring 14 goals in their last three games – with none conceded. It’s a different picture for Derek McInnes’ team, however, after Aberdeen’s stuttering home form saw them follow up a frustrating 2-2 draw with Scottish Premiership basement boys St Mirren with a 2-0 loss to Hamilton.
But Gerrard knows his side will not have it easy against a team who have already beaten his side twice this season.
Asked if he was surprised by Aberdeen’s recent dip, the former Liverpool skipper said: „Yes because the last two fixtures against St Mirren and Hamilton, Aberdeen are big favourites in those games.
„You’d expect them to take maximum points but it just goes to show that every game is competitive in the SPL.
„But I don’t think it will have any bearing on Sunday’s match. It’s a different competition and I’m sure Aberdeen want to go all the way just like we do.
„We expect the best Aberdeen and we know Derek will certainly be getting into them to make sure he gets the best out of his players.“
